Post your unpopular music-related opinions here

In a lot of circles this isn't very unpopular of an opinion.

I think sad music sounds beautiful. I like the vamping and alternating that's in a lot of depressing songs.

I pay more attention to the melody and the music than I do the lyrics.

-I like many of the songs and bands from the 70's like ABBA and the Bee Gees.

-I think most rap music just sounds like a bunch of angry guys swearing constantly.

-I like Weird Al song parodies.

-I love Disney songs. I have the soundtracks to Disney movies such as The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, and I even have a couple of kareoke CDs to sing to.

-I don't like horror movies, but I do like a lot of their music. I have soundtracks to popular scary movies that I've never even watched, like Halloween and Friday the 13th. They are quite eerily beautiful.

Yes! Massive Bee Gees fan here, from the 60s through the late 70s. ABBA had some great stuff too. And ELO.

I think it's okay for even pop music to take itself seriously. I like music that has real emotions and means something. I think the 90s was one of the better decades for this. The 60s and 70s were good too.

I don't get why Dr. John is so venerated is New Orleans. I've seen him live twice and I don't get it.

Gaga is under-rated, she's definitely going down with the greats and she ain't even started! Dunno how unpopular that is but many don't think the girl is a legit entity, she is top drawer when you dig into her material. Her versatility is unreal and she can't half wail. Everything is a part of the performance, she has every single little thread calculated and thought through and the music is always flowing through it all. She plays both sides of the coin, the expectations and shallowness of the ''popstar'' and then she flips it and goes against the curve and redefines the walls. People don't get everything she does is the performance, it's very complex. She also knows her black sabbath which is something I admire!

The weird al opinion is shared by many.

^^^ I concur. I enjoy Weird Al's songs

I have not seen what she has been up to lately but while the cult of celebrity has been dealt with before in music nobody I had heard of made it the center of thier art. I liked that she was part of a movement to revive and update electro-pop.

The music of the last 25 years up to and including that of today is utter rubbish.
Adele is overrated.
Beyoncé is arrogant and thinks she's better than everyone else.
Leona Lewis is no longer the nice girl she was, she has got above herself.
Kylie Minogue only became successful in music due to 'Neighbours', she just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Amazing what clever marketing can do. I hate that oínseach with a passion.
Bono is a jerk.
Justin Timberlake is an amadán. Tomas Ledin has more talent in one of his socks than Mr Timberlake has in his entire body.

TEARS FOR FEARS RULE THE WORLD

Nickelback's "Rockstar" is actually a brilliant satire of the rock 'n roll lifestyle. People hate it because they think it's glorifying it, but it's not.

I've always understood this song to be an obvious satire. A poor quality satire, but definitely satire. Personally Nickleback are everything bad about rock in the past 25 years distilled into one bland band. They almost make Creed listenable by comparison. - Not sure if this is a popular or an unpopular opinion since Nickleback have lots of fans and lots of people who can't stand them.



I think this opinion shows your lack of familiarity with the genre. It's equivalent to dismissing rock as 'a bunch of juvenile guys caterwauling over simple blues riffs'. Both are massive and diverse genres that have been around for decades and include dozens of subgenres that reinterpret the standard elements or choose to deviate from them entirely.

My unpopular opinion: 90% of most genres is utter rubbish.

I was going to mention that I think Nickelback are generally a boring, generic rock band, but I don't think that's really an unpopular opinion. I will admit to liking a few of their songs, mainly out of nostalgia, so I guess that's an unpopular opinion. "Rockstar" is one of the only flashes of brilliance in their otherwise dull repertoire.

They get pretty decent album sales, so enough folks must like them no matter how popular hating them is. It might be that because so many people who strongly dislike them are quite elitist that a lot of their fans don't wish to admit so.

Adults who let other people define their musical tastes for them (as in, "well, I like whatever's on the radio")have no musical taste whatsoever.

Everyone who claims to like "a little bit of everything" doesn't, and probably hasn't heard even a single percentage of what exists musically.
